TO ALL WHOM IT MAY GONQERiNz I ,r

Be it known that I, HENRY Onnncn'r, of Mahanoy City, in' the county of Schuylkill, and State of Penn;

sylvania, have invented a new and improved Meat-Ghopping Machine; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art 'to make and use the".

same, reference being had to the accompanyingdra wings, forming part of this speeificatiomin which- Figure 1 represents a front elevation'of my improvedmeat-chopping machine.

Figure 2 is a horizontal. sectional view of the same, the planetof section" being indicated. by the line w :v, fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. 1 v v This invention-relates to a new machine for chopping meat or other articles, and consists in imparting to the cutter or cutters, besides anup-and-down reciprocating, a slow rotary motion. The cutters are fastened to the lower end of avert-ical shaft, which is swivelled in and suspended from arr up-and-downreciprocating block or other device, saidshaft also passing through the centre'ofi a wheel, to which slow rotary motion is imparted,

the shaft or wheel having afeather, so that the shaft is turned by the wheel, and may still move up and down through the same. I 1

A, in the drawing, represents a fra'me, of suitable construction and size, in'which are thebearings for the shafts operating the cutters E. v e

i B is a horizontal driving-shaft, having its hearings in the frame A, and imparting up-and-down reciprocating motion to a slotted bar, 0. The shaft B receives-rotary motion from suitable mechanism. From the bar 0 isjsuspended, and to it is swivelled, a bar, D, to the lower end of'which a cutter .or cutters,

E,are secured, which are, as they receive up-and-down reciprocating motion, pressed upona stationary block,.

I upon which the meat or other article to be'chopped is placed. v

The bar D passes through a horizontal gear-wheel, G, which: receives slow rotary motion by means of a worm, H, or otherwise, said worm or other device receiving rotary motion from the shaft'B.

The'bar D has a' feather, a, 'or'its equivalent, by means ofwhieh the rotary motion is imparted to it from a the wheel Gr, through which it passes readily during its u' and-dovm movement. The cutters Ethus receive up-and-down reciprocating and horizontal rotary motion, and will cut the meat or other article on theistationary block F into very small pieces. a

I Having thus described my invention, what claim-asnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The bar 1), when swivelled to the up-and-down reciprocating bar or plate 0, and when passing through and connected with the revolving wheel-or disk G', all made and operating substantially as herein shown'and described.
